Lone Daisy and repost

Critique Style Requested: Standard

Description

One of these days I’ll think to take a smaller lens along with me when I’m out doing bird photography. But the long lens did give me a nice blurred background

Hey, it works. I like the composition here, Allan, despite all those non-natives. It looks to me like the whites in the daisy could come up a bit. The petals are looking a bit gray on my monitor.

Right you are, Dennis. I’ve reposted something that looks better. Thanks for commenting.

Excellent job on the repost, Allan.

The repost hit the bullseye. That daisy really pops out now in the vibrant tangle. Reminds me of a meadow or prairie and all the life those support. The long lens did a nice job of compressing the scene as well as blurring the background. I really like the bright light and the warm greens of the background. When I went out yesterday I used my medium telephoto for almost everything as I like what it does with small scenes. Very occasionally I do the same with the really long lens, too.

Allen: Nice find and your long lens worked really well. On my wildflower forays in the Spring I like to look for scenes like this. Your repost made an already fine image even better. Nicely done. >=))>
